A Second Napoleon.

From London Letter.
Professions OF peaceful intentions
aave been received both from Berlin
and Paris, and there is some relieffrom
the extreme tension that has alarmed
all Europe for the past ten days.
A remarkable feature OF the dis
patches and discussions of the last
Two weeks on the prospects of war is
tue eonspicaous position assign cd
therein TO Boulanger. IL was one of
the Berlin papers that called him a
second Bonaparte and the whole of
Europe took the hint. The question
is everywhere asked wheather he is
really to be the second Napoleon. Ii
ne has any love OF newspaper notori-
ETY., he is certainly being gratified to
the fullest extent. Biographies OF
him appearin every sheet. The Times
this week gave whole column to an
analysis OF his character. His por-
trait, too, is becoming as common as
hat OF Bismarck. have received a
etter from gentleman in Paris who
las a close, personal acquaintance
with General Boulanger. He saws
that he is nota Bonapartei in the sense
that he does not want to beemperor,
Tor he is far too much OF a Radical. But
ne is vain, fond OF authority, and
might Drift into dictatorship. He
IS thoroughly democratic, belonging
to the school OF Clemenceau, and the
latter is not only his relative, but al.
so on intimate terms with him and
thoroughly in accord, having been
warm, personal friends IRON child
hood. Bonlanger, he asserts. is OPP
posed to going to war with Germany
at present, and would not do so ex-
cept in the direst extremity. But
this is purely precautionary SEN
timent. He loves his country,
loves the French people, is proud OF
the French army, for which he has
already done SO much, and his burn
ing ambition is tc meet Germany at a
moment when France will have fair
chance OF success. He does not think
the hour for action has arrived and is
willing to make almost any sacrifice
In order to be allowed to perfect the
organization and equipment of the
French army. He is just in the prime
OF life, and knows that the Emperor
William, Bismarck and Won Moltke
must soon pass off the stage of action.
That France has no horses TO spare
is well known. She recently purchas-
ed 5000 in Denmark, and their
shipment to France was one
OF the incidents which frightened
Germany into issuing her verdict
against equine corporation. The num-
Der of horses required by the two Eu-
ropean armies when on war footing
is astonishing. The number of those
required for military purposes in time
OF peace is enormous. Little Belgium
requires no less than 10000 horses
tor her army, If Germany was to 60
to war she would want 800, 900 and
France at least 3T5, 000
The Austrian service calls for 2o2,-
BOO and Russia exceeds it by requir-
ing 100000. These figures are taken
from a little work just published on
the organization and equipment
of foreign armies, and their accuracy
may be depended upon. England is
more destitute ofcavalry and artillery
horses than any of the great powers.

dictionaries past and present, Prof.
Scott traces each word, and then delves
into dead and all sorts of languages for
its original. a typewriter that repre-
sents the phonetic alphabet is at his ell
bow, for it is intended that the diction-
airy shall be guided by the principles of
phonetic spelling, and according to the

can philologists. Rhyme will be "rime"
and "fantom" will spell phantom, and
other interesting changes will appear

The totals, classified by trades or in
dustries, are found to be as follows:

A ROCHESTER business man who is q
practical mechanic was in Boston few
days ago and was attracted by novel
ty on exhibition which may have direct
interest for people elsewhere. says the
Rochester Express. 1t was tube
made of ANIMATED wooden strips wound
spirally and rendered water and steam
tight by a process which the inventor
declines to make public. 1t is claimed
that the process renders the wood prac-
tically indestructible by time or moist
ure, the common cause of decay. Our
informant sends samples of the pipe,
which, he was told, had been subjected
to the action of steam, oil, and acid
without apparent injury. He was pres
ent when a pressure of 1900 pounds to
the square inch was applied to piece
of the pipe twelve inches in diameter,
and it stood the test perfectly. The
thickness of the shell was about an
inch, and the wood was ash. For pur-
poses requiring less strength it is pro-
posed to use spruce. The owner of the
invention intends to apply it to the
manufacture of tight barrels, etc. He
claims that barrels can be made cheaper
and lighter by his process than as at
present. The Rochester man suggested
another use for the pipe, viz, to pro-
tect spiles in the sea against the at
tacks of the teredo or ship-worm. On
his suggestion section of the pipe has
been sent to California in order to test
its efficacy in resisting the incisors of
the terror of navies," which abound
in the waters of Pacific. 1t is not i'm
probable that those who may be inter-
ested here will have chance before
long to see some of the pipe which can
be used for conveying water, electric
wires, etc.

baseball writer's and scorers in the country
is Henry Chadwick. OF Brooklyn, an old
timer and official scorer for the Brooklyn
Club. He was evidently builtfor player,
but has never devoted himself to the game
professionally other than as writer about
it. When the new rules we're announced
he interviewed several members of the
Committee of Conference to obtain trust
worthy interpretations of the changes.
THE baseball fraternity" SAYS Mr..
Chadwick, "in 1887 will, for the first time
in the history of professional ball, play
under one official code of rules. viz, that
authorized by the Conference Committee
of the National League and the American
Association, at the meeting held in Chica-
90 on Nov, ID and 16, 1886, which code was
afterward indorsed at the annual conven-
tons of both organizations. On this ex-
ceptional legislative occasion not only were
the members of the joint committee of
each organization the ablest men that could
have been selected for the purpose, but
they were assisted in their important work
of revising the playing rules by special
advisory committee of leading club cap
tains of the two associations. who were
invited to aid the committee by such prac-
teal suggestions as the experience of the
past season pointed out as necessary.
Prior to the meeting the work of amend
ing the rules each season had been done
by the delegates TO the annual
meetings of each organization, and
the result was not only two different

portant and radical changes made in the
rules for some years past, and though it
may bother q few batsmen at first, it will
ultimately be of advantage to them. One
benefit it yields is that of relieving the UNI
pire of a very difficult part of his duties,
while at the same time it affords the pitch
er greater facility for strategic skill in his
position.
ain regard TO the new rules of the new
code, which refer to committing a 'balk,
the pitcher is far more circumscribed in his
movements than he was last year. The
new code includes the American Associa-
ton rules Of 1886, which are as follows:
"A balk is any motion made by the pitcher
to deliver the ball to the bat without deliv-
ering it, and shall be held to include any
and every accustomed motion with the
hands, arms or feet, or position of the body
assumed by the pitcher in his delivery of
the ball, and any motion calculated to de-
ceive base runner, except the ball be
accidentally dropped; if the ball be
held by the pitcher so long as to
delay the game unnecessarily, or any motion
TO deliver the ball, or the delivery of the
ball to the bat by the pitcher when any
part of his person is upon ground outside
the lines of his position, including all pre-
liminary motions with the hands, arms,
and feet.
"Tbe only amendment introduced In the
American rules by the new code is the
clause: And any motion calculated to
deceive base runner II will be readily
seen that stealing bases under this rule will
not be as difficult as il was under the abb
surd ruling in vogue the latter part of last
season."

This amount is added to until the per-

THE cultivation of the pecan tree
is becoming new source of wealth
throughout Georgia. There have been
many groves planted in various parts
of the State. There is a grove of four
acres in Wilkes County, in which the
trees have attained height of twenty
five feet, and from which the owner
has netted largely the last season. In
1873, Colonel j. f. Jones, of Troupe
County, planted the seed, and has
made three crops from the trees. When
planted from the seed the tree will
grow and be productive in five years.
The nut drops readily upon shaking
the tree, and requires no care save that
of picking. While the pecan tree grows
readily upon hillsides, and rocky or
level lands, yet it thrives best on low
lands, it being a swamp growth. The
cultivated nut is much finer than that
found in the swamps, and always finds
O ready market.
